Read these excerpts from Angel Agnes and The Summer of the Pestilence. Fiction: Angel Agnes For awhile Agnes seemed to be wander

ing, or perhaps she was dreaming; for her eyes were closed as though in slumber, and a smile like she used to smile, flitted over her pale face, as she stretched out her arms to embrace some one. Nonfiction: The Summer of the Pestilence I found that Edmund had come home sick a little while before, with all the symptoms of yellow fever—violent pains in the head and back, a yellow infusion in the eyes, a dark coating down the middle of the tongue, while the edges of the tongue appeared almost raw, and a very rapid pulse. What statement best describes how death is shown in these excerpts? The nonfictional excerpt shows great interest in scientific details. The fictional excerpt shows great character development. The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt. The fictional excerpt has a stronger plot than the nonfictional excerpt.

Answer:

The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt.

Explanation:

In the fictional passage about <em>Angel Agnes</em> from the chapter "Agnes saves a child but dies herself", Agnes is shown in a deep slumber. But the narrative voice uses the words <em>"wandering, or perhaps she was dreaming"</em>, which is poetic and even fairy-tale like. The further description about her appearance provides an image of something more ethereal than a normal, realistic image.

On the other hand,<em> The Summer of the Pestilence</em> provides a historical account of the Yellow fever and the effects it had on man. The passage deals with the realistic, even violent images of the effects of the disease, an unpleasant picture.

The two passages about death are presented in such a way that the fictional work is more poetic than the realistic / non fictional excerpt.

Answer:

Vulnerable

Explanation:

In describing his struggle with his father, who was now very sick and oblivious of his environment, Elie Wiesel described his father as weak, frightened, and vulnerable. The book, 'Night,' was written in 1960 by Elie Wiesel to describe his travails with his father at the German concentration camp between 1944 to 1945. The conditions at the camp were so harsh that people had to struggle for their lives first before considering their loved ones.

Wiesel experienced this when he fled for life at the sound of sirens, abandoning his sick father. This is aptly summarized in the following words;

<em>"WHEN I WOKE UP, it was daylight. That is when I remembered that I had a father. During the alert, I had followed the mob, not taking care of him. I knew he was running out of strength, close to death, and yet I had abandoned him."</em>
